Seeing that the rest of the script is tailored to be used in a Linux
environment (and one very specific at that), I don't see the point in
using UID 0 instead of the symbolic name. Also, besides BeOS/Haiku, I
don't really remember an OS with a similar scheme of UID/GID and the
user with ID 0 not being root. Could you give an example of where it
craps up?
